Air Travel With Baby

Are you freaked out about flying with your baby for the first time as much as we were? Don't worry - turns out it's not as difficult as it sounds. Here are some tips we pulled together the first time we flew with Kayleigh.

just wondering do you carry a pilliow or something that the baby can sleep on while in your lap?

@diayang you know I did this video about 4 years ago when they still had pillows on planes so I bet I used those. But I also remember folding up a sweatshirt and using that.

As a father I can't relate to some of the topics, but before kids I never used a backpack, now I don't leave home without, even now that they are a little older. I remember my first trip solo with my daughter (maybe a year and 1/2) I had so many toys, books and snacks I think I needed two backpacks. But the best trick might have been, wrapping small gifts for her to open when you just know the meltdown is around the corner.

@lewiswinslow I love the idea of wrapping the gift - makes it more of an event and forces the kid to move on and do something other than melt down. Great suggestion!

[USMCBaby2011]

@cockwiper wait till the kids 18? thats dumb, and technology is no substitute for human contact

[cockwiper]

[USMCBaby2011]

[USMCBaby2011]

@cockwiper take it from me when you live on the other side of the world to your family, flying is the only option avaliable

advantage with nursing, don`t have to worry about how much milk to take, but no need to taste milk in front of airline staff, to prove you are not carrying dodgy stuff.
